I bought this for use on PC and ran into several obstacles during setup, partly because the included guide has instructions for PS3 and Xbox 360 setup, but no other platforms, but partly because it has several technical shortcomings. This headset combines separate chat audio from the USB connection and game audio from the 2.5mm jack in the USB connector, and has separate volume controls for them, but the USB connection (chat) sound quality is poor. It's worse than I'd expect from low-end budget headsets and isn't even in stereo (both speakers play the left channel), so used as described in the specs, with USB for PC audio, this headset performs very poorly.In order to get high-quality stereo audio, the 2.5mm jack on the USB connector needs to be connected to your PC's audio out, but this doesn't come with any way to connect to a standard 3.5mm jack, only an adapter to connect it to male or female RCA connectors, so unless your PC has RCA audio outputs, you'll need a separate adapter for that.The sound quality of both the audio out and microphone are excellent once it's wired up, but since the USB-only connection option performs very poorly and the 3.5mm option doesn't work out of the box, the PC 320 version of this headset is probably a better choice for PC users.

This headset is good for people that want great audio on a number of different platforms. They are light, flexible, and comfortable for extended gaming sessions. My only gripe was the setup for PS3. I had to mess around with a lot of cables and connections before I got them to work. However, it's pretty much plug and play for PS4 and PC. The cable is very long (4m). The sound quality is absolutely fantastic for games, music, and chat. The bass boost also works very well, better than some other headsets like the Sony Pulse Elites. Price is a bit much for me though. You could probably find some higher quality headphones for a little cheaper, but I definitely recommend these. Read Less

As a family of gamers sometimes it's a rage induced headset chucking that causes the death and other times it's more a matter of crappy quality workmanship that just doesn't last through daily use.

It's a little embarrassing admitting that i was born with big stick-out ears but if you have the same issue you know exactly how painful gaming headsets can be after a raid night in your fave mmo.
